Prof. Weipeng Zhang

Ocean University of China, China


Research Area: 

Marine biofilm assembly and microbial adaptation


Research Experience:

Weipeng Zhang's researches focus on marine biofilms, including mechanisms governing assembly of the biofilms in deep-sea areas and ecological functions of the biofilm communities. In addition, I also used culturable single model species, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis for bacterial environmental adaptation and biofilm development study.
